I agree with Axton. Last year I bought flashboards, no packs or anything. Once you buy FB's you are unlimited in how many you can create. I don't remember what I entered in the number of licenses field (it was at a different company so I can't look).
Patrick, since you will need to update your licenses to the 6.x format I would hope the correct unlimited license will be issued in that process but I have a feeling you will still need to contact licensing to get them straightened out. OT: I actually went through a license review with BMC when we got flashboards a year ago. It took a little while because BMC had to look through legacy multiple systems to find out we had purchased over the years. But I was pleasantly surprised when I found that we had unused licenses that got lost over the years. Besides some fixed license and another server license I found that we had previously owned FB's and just have to pay a grand or two to get them back on support. Over the years some of the product we had licensed were no longer valid (i.e. arweb, etc) and it was hard to reconcile the license count to the support renewal. It was really nice to do some house cleaning and get the older license realigned with BMC's current products.

I don't really remember what the old scheme was. There used to be a separate tool to develop the flashboards as well, when they moved that into the admin tool, they changed the licensing model.
